Manchester United Vs Arsenal; Key Gunners Missing From Squad?

Manchester United will welcome the Gunners at Old Trafford on Monday. The Red Devils are not in a great position after 6 matches in the Premier League. Things did not start like this for Manchester United in this season. They began their season with a 4-0 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford. However, the performance curve started to fall down after that game. In the previous match, they were also defeated by the Hammers by a margin of 2-0. The Red Devils are currently at the 11th position in the League table with 8 points in 6 matches so far.

On the other hand, the Gunners were able to win the match against Aston Villa by a narrow margin of 3-2. The credit should go to Pierre Emerick Aubameyang as his brilliant free kick goal at the 86th minute of the match helped the Gunners to grab all three points from this match. Unai Emery’s men are also not in great form in this season. They also dropped quite a few points at the beginning of the season. So, the time has finally come for them to show their class in the Premier League. Unai Emery’s men will certainly push for the top four race if they can beat Manchester United on Monday.

Manchester United :

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under huge pressure ahead of this important clash against the Gunners. He might well be sacked after a poor result against the Gunners. In such an important match, Ole is not getting his prime man at the upfront of the goal. Marcus Rashford is out of the contest with an injury. Anthony Martial is also unavailable. At the current circumstances, the 17 year old centre-forward Mason Greenwood is going to start as the lone centre-forward for the Red Devils on Monday.

Paul Pogba is also doubtful to start against the Gunners on Monday. He was used against Rochadale in the Carabao Cup match. However, the injury problem might still prevent him to be a part of the starting lineup of the Red Devils. Eric Bailly is also a long term absentee for Manchester United. So, the pair of Lindelof and Maguire are going to start against the Gunners.
